It's a mid to late 1930's fiddle-edge Regal Dobro M-14 - The Leader.I got it yesterday and today it's ready to go!!

Amazing lustre! Beautifully shaped metal..

Changed the tuners and gave it a new old tailpiece, not original for now. Mark Makin was so helpful and kind and supplied the original but I need to repair it before I can use it! So right now there's a nice old National tailpiece holding the strings! Thanks again Mark, I'll fix that tp and use it later on!!

It was really dull when I opened the box but after a lot of cleaning and polishing it's shining again, ready to dazzle audiences once more with it's cool appearence, lol..!!

Weirdo spider, some fiddle-edges had these to fix intionation problems.. Cone is dented but it sounds amazing, with sick sustain, hehe...

It was a good deal, so thankful I could finally get me one of these!The sustain is so freakin' awesome, perfect for playing slide blues, it's almost like playing an electric solidbody guitar, you don't have to work so much for each note, haha!Hit the string and it'll ring..

Congrats Hoss. Strange coincidence but I played am M-14 in my favorite Mom & Pop music store the other day. Not near as brash as a Duolian - more of a polite sound. But no - it did not go home with me. I have too many flippin' guitars laying around as it is.
